Guess it takes a really astute businessman like Donald Trump to realize how sick and tired most Americans are with of all those burdensome child labor laws and 8-hour days. Of course, when they repeal all of our healthcare and labor laws, it might not be such great of an idea to be sick and tired – but I digress.

Future Labor Secretary Puzder points out that if we don’t do away with all the rules regarding overtime and minimum wages, impoverished workers could lose the very jobs who’s extremely low wages and meager benefits all but assure that they’ll continue living in abject poverty.

So let’s see – we’re now gonna have an opponent of organized labor running the Department of Labor, a man who hates the idea of environmental protection in charge of EPA, a billionaire who’s bank made a fortune squeezing people on foreclosures in charge of the Treasury and to top it all off, someone who hates the idea of public schools at the helm of the Department of Education.

Now I’m the first to admit that I’m no public policy wonk, but I don’t think even Putin or Kim Jong-un could have imagined being able to pull that one off.

Threat Made Against L.A. Rail Line: Federal and Los Angeles officials said they had been alerted by authorities in another country to a “specific” threat against the city’s Red Line commuter rail system, prompting them to beef up security and alert the public.

U.S. Plans to Make F-16 Fighter Jets in India: As a new American president bent on retaining American jobs prepares to take office, the U.S. defense industry is working on a deal with the Indian government to build iconic U.S. combat aircraft in India.

China Group Readies Titanic Tourist Simulation: China’s Star Energy Investment Group has officially begun construction of a new, controversial tourist attraction in southern China, featuring a life-size replica of the Titanic, which they say will allow visitors to experience first hand what it was like to hit an iceberg.

Fewer Hotels Are Placing Bibles in Rooms: Due to changing cultural values and religious demographics, researchers say fewer and fewer hotels are placing Bibles in their rooms. Thus fulfilling an old Gene Simmons’ prophesy, guess we’ll all be “living in sin at the Holiday Inn.”

Greek Shepherds Can Whistle Entire Conversations: Researchers say they were surprised to find that shepherds in a remote Greek village can whistle entire conversations, favoring whistling over spoken words because the sound waves travel much farther and allow them to communicate between distant hillsides. What’s the big deal? Hell, construction workers have been using whistling to get their point across for years.

Trump Takes to Twitter Again to Attack Baldwin’s SNL Impersonation: President-elect Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to express his displeasure with Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live, claiming Baldwin’s impersonation of him is “unwatchable” and “just can’t get any worse.” Perhaps, but I think I’d take Baldwin’s impersonation of Trump over Trump’s impersonation of a president any day.

Baby Born Mid-Flight Forces Emergency Landing: A Southwest Airlines plane flight had to make an emergency landing in Charleston after a baby was born in the middle of the flight. Southwest officials say that while they’re extremely happy for the new parents, that doesn’t mean the kid flies free.

Thank goodness we’ve elected Donald Trump who’d never let anything like that happen.

Air-Conditioner Maker Carrier Will Not to Send Jobs to Mexico: Donald Trump has reportedly made a deal with air-conditioner manufacturer Carrier not to close two factories in Mike Pence’s home state of Indiana, preventing 1000 jobs from going to Mexico.

New Estimates Raise Civil War Death Toll: A researcher at Binghamton University in New York has determined that Civil War casualties were 20 percent higher than what had been the official number for at least 110 years. Fine, but I assume its a bit late to notify the families.

Mitt Romney Praises Trump After NY Dinner: Characterizing their New York dinner of carefully prepared frog legs “a wonderful evening,” Mitt Romney generously praised the man he once called a phony and a fraud, saying he has “increasing hope” that Donald Trump can lead the country to a “better future.” I’m guessing that means Trump must have picked up the check. And when the waiter asked Romney what he’ll be having, he said “I’ll be eating Crow.”

CVS Employees Call Cops On Black Men Asking To Buy Cheese: CVS has apologized after employees in Carytown, Virginia called police after two black men entered the store and asked them if they sold sliced cheese.

Employees defended their actions by saying those two guys were asking for it – yea, they were asking for sliced cheese. Cheez Whiz, sounds like those employees didn’t know Jack about cheese. No matter how you slice it, this sounds like some cheesy conspiracy to me.

And, while I feel sorry for those two customers, I’ve gotta be honest here – I’m kind of scared of being around people who eat a lot of cheese myself. Besides, you never know what someone will do when you tell them you have no Kraft singles.
